What kind of detergent to use

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy

to work in the dishwasher.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have

differenl amounts of phosphorus for softening

water, If waler is hard and phosphorus conlent is

low (6.0%

or less), you may need to use more

detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus

contenl (8.7% or higher).

Do not add detergent until you are ready to

wash.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent

is necessary for best washing results.

Store delergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section wilh a

cover and one without.

For cycles wilh one wash, put detergent in one

section only.

- Use the

open

section if the cycle begins with

a wash.

- Use Ihe

covered

section if lhe cycle begins

with a rinse.

For cycles with two washes, put detergent in

both sections.

Push the cover down until it is latched.

Delergent in the open section falls inlo the dish-

washer when the door is closed. The covered

section opens aulomalically when the main

wash starts.

NOTE:

It is normal for the cover to open partially

when dispensing detergent. The cover will open

fully when the door is opened.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent IO use depends on the

hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes

won? be clean. However, if loo much is used in

soft water, glassware will begin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your

local water department, water softener company

or county extension agent
